EVENTS IN IONIC FRAMEWORK

Since Mobile apps are now becoming part of new age humans and there use increased a lot. Many daily use mobile apps have increasingly come up with touch technology as its spearhead. Although being complete UI based framework when combined with JavaScript (AngularJS) Ionic Framework has the full potential to become one of the best mobile apps development platform.

Ionic Framework has a lot of default events which are coded frequently with most of the complex functionality. ‘on-touch’ even is called upon as you touch the screen immediately. Ionic event ‘on-hold’ is called when your touch stays at the same place for more than 500ms (milliseconds), ‘on-tap’ is another touch event for time less than 250ms. When you double tap touch than ‘on-double-tap’ event is called.

Similarly ‘on-release’ when the user ends the touch; ‘on-drag’ when drag event occurs and on-drag-up (left, right, down) are called as move your touch on the screen considerably. Whereas Swipe is another event which has become quite famous with young generations and it uses ‘on-swipe’ with up, right, left and bottom for making sure user has all the right option for choosing the right selection effectively. These all are part of ionic gestures and event which are used with AngularJS as its base.

Here we have enlisted Ionic Events Example with tandem in AngularJS to show how they are used more effectively. They can be applied to all the buttons, lists, Cards, Form, range etc. Their used in games, apps and programs is universally proven to be success with touch functionality in newer Smartphone’s.

UNDERSTANDING THE ANGULARJS POST METHOD

AngularJS is now the need of the hour with its simplifying methods and procedures. There are basically two methods through which you can communicate via server i.e. POST & GET method; here we will explain to you how we can do the AngularJS HTTP post. For communicating with the servers we prefer AngularJS HTTP post Method for safely communicating via JSON or XML http request.

From beginning you need to understand the syntax and parameters for passing the information more accurately.

AngularJS $http.post Syntax:
 $http.post(url, data, [config]).then(Callback);

Upon Performing the Returns are accessed!
Every parameter in the above syntax needs to resolve carefully. URL points to where data will be loaded; data stands for the information you want for the post; Config is the optional configuration object; Callback function so you know it has worked successfully.

On server side you can use your preferred language i.e. PHP, ASP or anything your project requires, just use the appropriate code for making this procedure correctly. Using this simple method you can also pass multiple parameters with $http post method

multiple-post-syntax

HTTP headers are added by default to each request you pass to server which can be overwrite using new lowercase HTTP method name.

We have created a demo AngularJS http post method example for you where everything is explained step by step for you. Once you hit the try-it-editor you can add the inputs there in the register form and you will get the data being shown in the table below instantly hence proving our objective regarding this peculiar HTTP post method in AngularJS. Also get extra information on how to overwrite HTTP headers with complete JSON example and code too. You can also checkout the video for how the things are done where each step one by one is explained.

Making Tables with Bootstrap

In Our last article we studied about align property in Bootstrap, in this week we are going to know more about making tables in Bootstrap with different attributes. Bootstrap is one complete CSS framework from which modern web designs are now built. A lot of other CSS frameworks have come in the industry but still Bootstrap is one which stands as the most versatile and complete in I.T. web development. Before ‘div’ came and conquered the web designing portion of the website building, ‘Table’ was the most used tag for making websites but soon new tags overcame the difficulties of using this complex tag. But there are still many circumstances where we need to implement the Table tag exclusively like while showing data in sheet like format than table is still the most preferred use.

Bootstrap Tables

In Bootstrap table can be designed with their basic HTML tags only, but with this framework you can multiple styling effectively making the design more suitable to the overall user experience. Bordered table, Condensed table, Bootstrap Table Strip (Check here all types of Bootstrap table with example, images and syntax) and also can easily use bootstrap table hover property as well. These all attributes are done with just applying the specific class to your HTML structure.

Bootstrap Make Table Row Clickable

This is an interesting conclusion where we need to make table row clickable like we implement in hyperlink. Now to do this exclusive task for Bootstrap Clickable Table Row this is done through with the help of the jQuery. After applying the code on complete row if you see the result the whole row is clickable with link where you want it to go just like hyperlink.

Since Google updated its search algorithm with special requirement on RWD (responsive web development), most of the sites have made their multi-platform designs. Also the recent increase in the multiple devices has forced the website owners to use this exclusive responsive Bootstrap framework as the base of their online business version. Bootstrap is a multiple grid based CSS responsive framework in which they use different classes that are makes changes in the versatile design as user moves from mobile device to tablet, to desktop or any other internet accessing equipment.

Aligning the things in the middle whether you are using ‘div’ or ‘Table’ it requires you to implement special circumstances along with technical expertise with perfection. Here is perfect example of how to use Vertical Align in Bootstrap with syntax, code and example. Idea is created by using simple separate classes that places the elements directly where the place is i.e. Vertical Top, Vertical Center or Vertical bottom.

Crux of the problem lies in using the combinations of CSS attributes correctly, you have to start with custom class and add display (inline-block), float (none) and Vertical Align (Top, Middle & Bottom attribute) collectively so that the desired result can be achieved without any conflict. What it does it creates a space where things are put in the container of the parent element according to the direction i.e. Top, Middle & Bottom.

So whether your design structure is in div or table adding this custom CSS can give you the desired structure easily. Check out more comprehensive Bootstrap Tutorials with step by step expert guidance for teaching the next generation about web designing. In many responsive framework that have started their own custom CSS, Bootstrap stands as on of the strongest to be used among the practical web designing lessons.

For better organizing and grouping one can also add the List dividers to specific ‘li’ for making sure they have proper difference in the navigation structure with respect to user behaviour. This provides different color and font-weight to that specific ‘li’ item from the rest displaying it as the parent and child. One can also simply add icons to this Ionic list example with <i> tag only using position item-icon-right for right and item-icon-left for left. You can add these classes to their parent tag for ‘i’ element for regular behaviour.

Item Avatar functionality is available too with images as default round using border radius property. For displaying large thumbnails inside ionic list there is default code with item-thumbnail which can be given the position left or right specifically to match the requirements of the design respectively.
